32 – Fight (1)

Kara won with an overwhelming difference in skill, but sparring with me is different.

First of all, there will be a terrifying difference in body specifications. Right now, as I roughly recall, Kara’s stats average 100.

On the other hand, I am over 140 except for luck and faith. In particular, his stamina is very high, approaching 150.

From 140 in Soul World, it is classified as a semi-end spec, and the true end spec is 150 units.

There will be roughly the difference between Captain America and Thor.

‘Because I can see and avoid everything without words.’

In Soul World, there are characteristics that allow you to identify patterns in advance and avoid them. I’m covering that with wild instincts.

So there is no need to learn right away. Because the stats are so good, I see everything with my own eyes and avoid it.

Wasn’t that also the case in the sparring with Alvin? Kara would be a little faster than that, but not much different.

‘Still, I’m sure I’ll get a counterattack.’

Overwhelming power does not require skill, but since power is lacking, skill is required.

Otherwise, humans would not have been able to survive in this harsh world. No matter what, the need to learn skills remains the same.

Overwhelming power and perfect technique. When these two things are in harmony, you will be able to look at a higher place.

“······Really? Are you confident?”

When Kara heard my answer, she smiled broadly as if her sympathy was boosted. It’s an expression that says let’s try it once.

I didn’t say anything because I only answered the truth. I just stare at her with her expressionless expression.

As I said before, the stats of 140 cars are semi-end spec level. The minimum conditions to easily clear the rest of the story.

In Soul World, it was difficult to show properly due to the limitations of the game, but due to the setting, you can throw a boulder the size of a house.

If you use mana here, you’ll be able to generate even more power than that. Moreover, my red magic power is stronger than normal magic power.

“Is this like a wild intuition? I think I understand Luna’s mind somehow?”

“How do you feel?”

“If you only trust your intuition, you’ll get a serious nose injury. Now I really need to check it out.”

“··· ···”

Luna made an ambiguous expression at Kara’s remark. There’s something cute about looking at me.

She also tried to prove my intuition wrong, but didn’t she get beaten badly? It can be seen as a kind of living witness.

‘Actually, it’s not even intuition.’

It’s not intuition, it’s because you know the setting to some extent, so you can judge it objectively.

Although I forgot the trivial settings while living a wild life, I remember the big ones.

Even if it’s a part I can’t remember, it’s the kind that comes to my mind a little bit when I listen to the related part.

“That… Older sister?”

“Why? Got something to say?”

“My sister doesn’t know, but Sivar is really strong. It’s beyond words.”

“I know. You killed Mankey with a stone axe? I can do that too.”

“But…”

Luna looked at Ellie, muttering her words. She is one of those people who know the least of my powerlessness.

I saved her from almost dying from Mankey, and she watched the fight with Porori from afar.

“Why am I staring at you?”

“······No.”

Of course Ellie reacted in disbelief, opening her golden eyes again and again. She can’t help it because she’s a non-combat job.

“Okay. Then let’s ask why you think I’m losing. What did you feel when you said that?”

“Strength.”

“Strength?”

At the short answer of strength, Kara’s expression changed to a puzzled one. I guess I didn’t understand what it meant.

I thought about how to accept it more easily. Two letters are the maximum for short cuts.

“Isn’t it because you’re stronger than your sister?”

“Is that so? I’ve never boasted about my strength in front of him.”

Even with Luna’s opinion, Kara still responds that she doesn’t know. She only learned martial arts, but never showed strength.

Besides, the punching bag exploded so much that I practiced in a relaxed state. This alone will be difficult to figure out.

“And my friend. If you blindly believe in strength, you will be beaten later. Tell me this time…”

Kara stops in the middle while giving me a sermon that is not a sermon. Then, he furrowed his brow.

Anyone can see that he doesn’t like something. Seeing that expression, Ellie asked cautiously.

“Do you have any problems?”

“Huh? Oh, that’s not it. It’s just… What my father said.”

She said it as if it was no big deal, but she couldn’t hide her uncomfortable face. Just looking at that, you can get a glimpse of her father and daughter.

But there is no way for Luna to know that fact. She listened to Kara and brought up her question.

“Come to think of it, your real father must have come. Did you meet him?”

“I just met you. Didn’t you guys come?”

As for Kara, she didn’t want to even mention it, so she hurriedly changed the topic. She was so natural that no one suspected anything.

“I will not be able to come while I am in school because the distance is too far.”

“I see. What about you, Luna?”

“I don’t have parents.”

“So… What?”

At her flowing confession, Kara nodded her head, then opened her eyes wide.

Ellie’s face was startled as if she had never heard of it. On the contrary, she asked as if Luna were curious.

“Didn’t Ellie tell you too?”

“Uh… Yes. I didn’t.”

“I see. Anyway, I’m an orphan. Even if I were an orphan, the villagers were all good people, so I grew up without any shortcomings.”

“That… Um… Yeah? Thankfully. Actually, I don’t have a mother either. Let’s get along well from now on?”

Unlike KARA, he hurriedly finished with gibberish. It is clear that she was embarrassed.

Actually, Luna has a face that says nothing is wrong. In reality, the villagers would have taken great care of her.

“Kara unnie.”

“Huh?”

“What kind of person is Kara’s father?”

You’re touching a landmine. Kara twitched under her eyes at Luna’s question.

Since she was the first to bring up the topic, she was not serious about it. But are land mines called land mines for nothing?

“······He’s a bit strict.”

Kara answered with a forced smile. It is her accent that seems to suppress something.

Luna wasn’t completely blind either, so she just nodded her head and didn’t ask any further.

As such, Kara and Hector have a twisted relationship. As I said before, the relationship between a father and his daughter who are clumsy in expressing love.

‘It will take a while for the misunderstanding to be resolved.’

This is one of the episodes that needs to be resolved in the long run in Soul World.

If it’s solved well, you’ll get a pretty good result, but the opposite… I won’t say any more.

“Anyway, let’s talk about your parents here, and the next fight was three days later?”

“I give each person three days of rest, so it’s probably right.”

“Okay. Then I’ll have to train until then. I made a big statement, but it’s embarrassing to lose.”

Kara said that and she looked at me. It is a face full of anticipation.

I wanted to fight with me so much, but soon it will be established. I can’t help but feel good.

“Sivar.”

“Yes.”

“I’ll tell you in advance, but I won’t give it to you. Tatars tend to do their best even in sparring. Especially if they have similar skills.”

Kara is proud of herself and declares war. She was full of confidence in her own abilities.

That’s not arrogance, it’s confidence. Even the actual battles that have been played so far will exceed double digits.

However, the actual battle would be helpless in the face of overwhelming force. To this she said calmly.

“Ka. La.”

“Huh?”

“About. Do it.”

“··· ···”

Kara’s expression was really worth seeing. Because at the moment, she was filled with all the feelings that she had heard wrong.

Then she laughed and then opened her mouth in an absurd voice.

“I never taught you to taunt. Who taught you?”

“You must be my sister. You must have learned something from watching Sivar.”

“Is that so? You should definitely be careful with your words.”

She doesn’t think it’s too late.

It was when I was thinking that to myself. Ellie tapped her on my shoulder with her finger.

So I looked towards her. She met her golden eyes exactly.

“Sivar. I’m telling you just in case, but don’t hurt it too much. Even if you don’t know, ordinary people won’t come back to life just by spraying potions.”

It’s absurd because it’s a sincere request. However, since the criminal record (?) Was clear, it was impossible to refute.

What’s even more absurd is that even Luna has a sad face, as if she found out too late. I don’t know what the hell you see me as.

“From what I’ve heard, it looks like he’s dead and alive?”

“Hmm… I have circumstances. If we weren’t there, I would have actually died.”

“She has something that almost killed him? What is that?”

“Uh…”

Ellie quietly answered Kara’s question as she rolled her eyes.

“······Squirrels?”

“··· ···”

Kara looked at me with her indescribable expression.

It’s not wrong, but I hope you don’t misunderstand.

‘I should also introduce Porori to Kara.’

Because I believe in the same Gulag, I wonder if the conversation will work well.

******

After Luna’s hospital visit, her time passed quickly.

After the big event, small fights continued, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy.

I know what happened anyway, and I know which characters are important.

Even if she was next to Rod, she would be bored, so she only stayed at the training ground as an excuse for training.

“I’ll ask you again. Even if you stun the opponent, you can’t kill them. Did you understand?”

“Yes.”

“You should answer yes, not yes.”

“Yes.”

“Good.”

Rod smiles happily at my correction. It seems that he was more concerned about half words than sparring.

I sighed inwardly as I watched him act as a guardian, then checked his armament. There’s nothing wrong with being armed.

As in the sparring with Elvin, a one-handed ax and a spear. He wasn’t even wearing armor.

‘It would be meaningless even if I wrote it.’

Thanks to the characteristics of the ‘Steel King’, the body itself is hard. A moderate attack will not eat even the seed.

But this is in the wild and I don’t know about raw weapons. Even ordinary humans tend to cut their hands on paper.

I checked his armament several times before turning his head forward. There was a fighting arena and an existing exit in front of it.

The broadcast will sound in a little while, so you can leave then. I’m honestly a little nervous.

“Emphasize repeatedly, but keep your sanity. Never kill, never maim. To prevent that, a bracelet is given, but just in case.”

“Yes.”

You have a lot to worry about. It’s not that I don’t understand it, but it’s so unusual.

It’s not like I have a grudge against Kara, and she won’t kill me.

If I kill, Hector will kill me. I want to live a little longer

[Players, please enter.]

At that time, a broadcast rang in the rest area. Broadcast now telling you to go inside.

I listened to the broadcast and looked at Rod. He nodded his head and gestured as if to go.

“It won’t be difficult for you to win. It doesn’t matter how much you get hurt.”

“Yes.”

“Heh heh. It makes me feel good when you say respectful words.”

Really, that person is also strange. Why are there only strange people around me?

I tilted my head and moved toward the exit. Before long, they were able to arrive at the vast arena.

‘I’m a little nervous.’

I wonder if gladiators in the Colosseum felt like this? My heart was pounding on a much larger scale than a normal arena.

I didn’t have much thought about sparring with Alvin, but not now. It must be because more people are watching me than before.

[Please be seated as the Dalian will begin soon.]

I heard a familiar broadcast, and I looked ahead. On the other side, Kara was walking.

But the armed condition is strange. When I fought Luna, I used to have a curved sword and an axe, but now I’m wearing a spear instead of an axe.

The Tatar people are well versed in weaponry and use a variety of weapons. So it’s not strange that Kara uses a spear.

‘Are you trying to recover your distance?’

Considering the characteristics of the window, that’s the right shape. Or was it for deterrence?

[We will create a battle environment.]

With that broadcast, the training ground, which had been a dirt floor, gradually changed.

The plains haven’t changed much since Luna, but something is different this time.

There were a lot more things that rose from the ground, and the terrain itself became more colorful.

All of these things have mass and substance. Seeing it up close, it felt new.

[Environment creation is complete.]

The appearance of the battlefield that eventually changed…

[Dalian environment is forest.]

[We will start sparring in a moment.]

It was a familiar environment for me.

Trees and dense bushes stretching high into the sky. And even the rocks placed here and there.

I couldn’t help but smell it, but all of those things are real. It means you can touch it.

“Wow. Adaptation advantage, what is it? If you set it to the desert, where does it add up?”

Kara grumbled as she slung her curved sword over her shoulder. It’s definitely a favorable environment for me.

I touched a tall tree before the sparring started. Like a 3D printer, the copied concept and feel are roughly similar.

Those bushes must also feel close to grass. If it’s like a fantasy in many ways, it’s a fantasy-like culture.

[·······1. I will start sparring.]

Darren started while touching the tree. I listened to the broadcast and looked ahead.

Even when Kara heard her words that the sparring had begun, she was smiling at ease. It’s not different from Luna’s time.

“Do you want to go in first or should I go in first?”

“··· ···”

From noble mtl dot com

At Kara’s invitation, I moved forward without saying anything.

Kara quietly put down the curved sword she was carrying on her shoulder as I approached.

Jeobeok- Jeobeok- Jeobeok-

Only my footsteps echoed softly in the silence of the arena.

Even though I approached Kara, she didn’t take any action and just watched. If you do, I’ll fight back.

“Can you answer me please?”

In spite of that question, I steadfastly walked on. A calm gait, as if nothing had happened.

Kara also stood firm on the spot without taking a step back from her. In conclusion, the relationship between the two of us gradually narrowed.

Jerbug-

So I confidently arrived right in front of Kara. They are close enough to face each other.

The distance that touches each other when you stretch out your hands. I looked into Kara’s green eyes and opened her mouth.

“Beat it. Try it.”

“What?”

“Beat it. Try it.”

When I say it again, Kara’s face gets complicated. I explained it more simply.

“Eat. Eat.”

He pointed to a clenched fist.

“Beat it. Try it.”

He pointed at her face. It means to hit the face with a fist.

Kara looked at me with her eyes wide open, probably taken aback by my request (?).

Then he spoke cautiously in a tone that made no sense.

“Do you know you’re sparring right now?”

“Yes.”

“But why?”

“OK. OK.”

“OK?”

When I asked back to confirm, she replied with a nod.

“Strength.”

“··· ···”

“OK. OK.”

“······· Ha.”

She laughed as if she finally understood what I was saying. It’s a pretty odd expression.

It deserves it. I ask her to hit her with her fist to check her strength, but who would understand?

But it is a necessary process. This allows you to control your power.

Unlike Elvin, Kara is likely to come out with her sincerity. It is a necessary process even to prevent accidents.

“You ignore me so much? Did you really learn from me?”

“Yes.”

“Ehh. I’ll have to be really careful with my words from now on.”

Squat!

Saying that, Kara thrusts her curved sword into the ground. She then said to me that she kept a cool smile.

“Bite your molars tight. That way they won’t break.”

Kara clenched her fists and slowly pulled her arms back. She seems to have intended to get out right from the start.

I waited in advance for the pain to come. I want you to hit it as hard as you can.

Shh!

Soon, with the sound of the wind cutting.

f*ck!

Kara’s fist hit me right in the face. A punch that swings like a hook rather than a direct hit.

As he taught me, it was a proper punch using the rotation of the waist and shoulders.

“··· ···”

But it didn’t work at all. Only her head turned, but she did not fall.

I slowly turned her head and looked at Kara again. She still has a smile on her face

“How are you? Are you awake?”

“Ah. Nee.”

I just know it’s not like this. So I said it again.

“About. Do it.”

“··· ···”

Did the provocation work? Kara’s smile disappeared for a moment.

Of course, I came back right away, but this alone is a great achievement. I mean you made her angry.

“Haa… Okay.”

Kara heard my answer and let out a sigh of her land. Then he stepped back slightly behind her.

I didn’t take any action while she held her pose. I just stare blankly.

“No regrets? Did you bring it upon yourself?”

Kara said in a slightly chilled tone, and she took one step at a time.

Do her assist close by stamping her left foot forward, then quickly rotate her lower back to gain power.

Her arm, which gained her strength, stretched out like a gun, and soon after, her fist plunged right into her target.

f*ck!

I was punched in the face several times stronger than before.

It’s so strong that it’s not just that my head is spinning, it’s that my body collapses.

It’s a punch with Kara’s power. If Luna had been hit by this, it would have knocked out a few of her teeth.

“Are you going to do it right now?”

“Yes.”

But not me. Maybe it’s because of the Iron King’s traits, but it’s okay.

Although it tingled a little, it didn’t make my mouth burst or anything like that. Teeth are fine too.

“Ka. La.”

“Why?”

I told her as I slowly got up.

“About. Do it.”

With those words.

Quaang!

Involuntarily, my fist hit her face.

Quadang! Courage! Whoops!

Kara’s model flew away and crashed into a tree. A very different situation, even if it was different from me, where she only had to fall.

Anyone can see the difference in strength between them. I even adjusted my strength.

“Cough! Cough! Ugh.”

Still, the experience I had in various real battles did not go anywhere, so I quickly came to my senses.

Seeing that his face was fine, it seems that he raised his mana in that short period of time to defend himself.

I slowly approached the distraught Kara.

“······· hahahaha.”

Kara smiled at me like that. A trickle of blood flowed from her mouth as if the inside of her mouth had burst.

He burns his fighting spirit despite feeling the difference in strength. How will she fight?

Anyway, this is certain.

“You.”

This is not Dalian, this fight.

“Jin. Everything.”

I think I’ll win.
